We always like to be able to give good news! The wonderful team at The Sunflower Jam have announced that Glenn Hughes will be
performing at ‘Celebrating Jon Lord ’ at London's Royal Albert Hall on April 4th
2014.
Glenn Hughes
. It’s a pretty exciting announcement for Deep Purple fans who will be certainly rubbing hands with glee - we know we at Classic Rock Radio certainly are!
Deep Purple, Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson, Rick Wakeman , Paul Weller and a host of other fine musicians will appear in what is guaranteed to be a truly unique night of music, a night to come together to honour and celebrate the life and work of the late, great Jon Lord.
Tenor Alfie Boe was due to appear but has unfortunately had to cancel due to 'due to conflicting commitments' He tweeted 'Sad to announce I cannot take part in this years Sunflower Jam due to work commitments in the US. I hope my fans will keep supporting'
(This is sad news because Alfie was absolutely superb at the Sunflower Jam's SuperJam in 2012 when he joined Bruce Dickinson, Brian May, Alice Cooper, Sandi Thom amongst others for what proved to be one of the best shows (and totally unforgettable) that I have ever attended - see my review here )
Jon Lord
Tickets for Celebrating Jon Lord are available from The Royal Albert Hall & Ticketmaster
Also, be sure to take a trip down memory lane whilst helping a great cause, The Sunflower Jam 2012 DVD is a great way to relive the absolute magic of that night as well as featuring highlights from 2011 (or to watch and then kick yourself that you weren't there! )
You can also take another trip down memory lane and listen to the Jon Lord Concerto Feature and also Ian Paice talking about the 2012 Sunflower Jam on the Listen Again section on our website by clicking here:
